Action

Final regulations.

Summary

The Secretary amends the regulations governing the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) program. These amendments are needed because the current regulations applied only to the fiscal year 1999 competition. These final regulations apply to any future GEAR UP competitions. The proposed regulations were drafted subject to the negotiated rulemaking process required by section 492 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).
